Novell Defends 'Unstable' Xen Claims

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the good-to-go dept.

daria42 writes "Novell has fired back at Red Hat's claims that the open source Xen virtualization software is not yet ready for enterprise use. 'We had all the major hardware partners that had virtualization hardware like IBM, Intel and AMD. They all stood up and said "Yes, this technology's ready, and we fully support deployments based on Xen and in combination with SUSE Linux Enterprise 10."', Novell's chief technology officer said today. 'So I guess the other vendors would not do that if it weren't ready.'"

    No. But I am. And thanks Mom for trying to help me out here, but please use your own computer next time. Last thing I need is for you to get your bookmarks confused again and post your "Cinnamon Applebee" cookie recipe under my /. account.

    the Debian community seems to want to detach itself from the linux one, hence why they call themselves GNU Debian Linux

    Lots of people refer to "Linux the operating system" (as opposed to "Linux the kernel") as GNU/Linux, as the GNU toolchain is such a hugely important part of the system that they feel that it deserves recognition. It has nothing to do with trying to distance themselves from "Linux the kernel".
